REVIEW

July 24, 2008

This is a promotional CD sold only to members of "The Society for the Preservation of Film Music" and performed by a variety of artists. Each CD
was a limited edition and numbered. The total number of discs sold was 350. The CD itself is a pleasant listen. It contains a variety of styles
from jazz to Japanese traditional. The tracks are very soothing to listen to for the most part and encompass a variety of styles.
Track 5, "The Face Of Another", is a female vocal sung in what sounds like German. Track 7, "Dodesukaden", in several places sounds a lot like the
1960's US hit "McArthur Park". If you are a fan of Toru Takemitsu it's worth looking for but with such a limited number made and being 13 years
old may be nearly impossible to find.
